A low power 10 bit current-mode folding and interpolating CMOS analog to digital converter (ADC) with arithmetic folding blocks is presented in this paper. A current-mode two-level folding amplifier with a high folding rate (FR) is designed not only to prevent the ADC from increasing the FR excessively, but also to perform at high resolution with a single power supply of 3.3 V. The proposed ADC is implemented by a 0.6 /spl mu/m n-well CMOS single poly/double metal process. The simulation result shows a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of /spl plusmn/0.5 LSB, an integral nonlinearity (INL) of /spl plusmn/1.0 LSB.

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive algorithm to detect the frequency in a noisy environment and its VLSI implementation. The algorithm is computationally efficient since we utilize the special structure of an active oscillator, which results in an adaptive one-coefficient FIR filter realization. A method using the Lagrange multiplier based LMS algorithm is derived for coefficient updating. Based on the proposed algorithm, a high performance VLSI architecture is designed in fixed point operation to reduce the hardware cost. After function simulation, the architecture is implemented by 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS technology. Its chip area is 2899/spl times/2899 um/sup 2/ and the working frequency is 75 MHz.

A high-speed divide-by-2 prescaler is designed in a 0.8 um CMOS. New ECL-like D flip-flop is proposed having source-folded diode clamping. Significant amount of speed up can be obtained using source-folded diode with proper sizing ratio of transistors, and lower power consumption can be obtained by designing low power D flip-flop and removing additional input-amplifying buffer. The simulated maximum input frequency of the suggested prescaler reaches up to 3.15 GHz with only 5 mA and 1.8 GHz with 1.6 mA at 3.3 V.

The quad-tree scan is realized by scanning nodes of a two-dimensional tree structure applied to the image. Only activated or effective pixels are scanned with quad-tree scan. We designed the image sensor using 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS 3-metal 2-poly-Si process. A 32/spl times/32 pixel array and a quad-tree scan controller are integrated on a 4.5 mm/spl times/4.5 mm die. Each pixel has an A/D conversion circuit and a motion detection circuit in a 96 /spl mu/m/spl times/96 /spl mu/m area. The quad-tree scan controller works at 10 Mcycles/s with 10 mW power dissipation.

In this paper, a multiple function filter with configurable capability for 1-V supply voltage is proposed. The circuit can find a rank order among a set of input voltages by setting different binary signals. Moreover without modifying the circuit, the WTA/k-WTA, maximum, minimum and medium function can be easily configured. The circuit has been designed using 0.5 /spl mu/m 2P2M CMOS technology. Seven input voltages are used to verify the performance of the circuit. The results of HSPICE simulation show that the operating speed of the circuit is 2 /spl mu/s for each rank-order operation, that the input dynamic range is rail-to-rail, and that the resolution is 10 mV for 1 V supply voltage. The static power dissipation of the circuit is 11 /spl mu/W.

This paper describes the advantages of the thin gate oxide transistors with negative word-line (WL) architecture implemented in the embedded DRAM macro. The macros with the negative WL architecture are fabricated as well as the macros with the conventional WL architecture. We found the retention time of the negative WL architecture is longer by more than 5 times than that of the conventional WL architecture.

A geometric-mean generator (A=/spl radic/B/spl middot/C) based on switched-current technique is proposed. A principle of superposition and cancellation is applied to the circuit. From the simulation results of the prototype circuit, it has an error within 5% in comparison with the mathematical calculation. The result shows the possibility of adapting the circuit to many types of analog processors.

In this paper, a new TSPC logic circuit is proposed for low-voltage high-speed applications. The proposed new circuit using non-full voltage swing scheme in internal nodes to reduce logic evaluation time and to save dynamic power. Thus the advantages of the new TSPC logic circuit over the conventional TSPC logic circuit are speed and power-delay product. Based upon the 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, the proposed new TSPC logic has 25% improvement over the conventional TSPC circuit in power-delay product. The new circuit can be operated at 250 MHz with 1.2 V supply voltage.
